Yokohama Landmark Tower is a 296.3-meter complex in Minato Mirai, with offices, a hotel, shops and restaurants. Head to Sky Garden on the 69th floor for a 360-degree view across Yokohama and Tokyo Bay; Mount Fuji may be visible on a clear day. The view is especially compelling around sunset and after dark, when the waterfront lights come on. Back downstairs, Landmark Plaza has Japanese and international brands, plus places to eat, so you can combine the observation deck with a meal or a browse.
Sky Garden on the 69th floor
Sky Garden is the tower’s observation floor, 273 meters above ground on the 69th floor. Its 360-degree outlook takes in Minato Mirai, Yokohama and the waterfront. On clear days, the view can extend to Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. The tower is 296.3 meters tall and has 70 floors, but the observation deck is the main reason to go up.
A high-speed elevator reaches Sky Garden in about 40 seconds. The change from the city streets to the open panorama is quick, so have your bearings ready once you arrive. Sunset and the hours after it are a good time to watch the waterfront shift from daylight to city lights.
A mixed-use tower in Minato Mirai
Landmark Tower opened in 1993 and forms part of the Minato Mirai 21 district. It combines offices, a hotel, shopping and dining in one complex. The Yokohama Royal Park Hotel occupies the upper floors, while Landmark Plaza and its shops are on the lower levels. The building remains one of Yokohama’s most recognizable parts of the skyline.
Landmark Plaza has Japanese and international fashion and lifestyle shops, character-goods stores and a post office. Dining options include Japanese dishes such as sushi, udon, ramen, gyoza and yakitori, alongside international cuisine. You can make the tower a short stop for the view or spend longer shopping and eating.
Dockyard Garden
Dockyard Garden is a restored dry dock built in 1896, set within the Landmark Tower complex. Its stepped sides are made from large stone blocks, giving this open space a different character from the surrounding high-rise buildings. The former dock is also used as an event venue. It is a useful stop to add when exploring the tower’s lower levels.
